Deal price: single early-bird ticket — ¥29.9 (≈$4, was ¥88) · Valid Sep 20 – Nov 22, 2026 · Usable any day of the week, no blackout dates · Buy-and-use, refundable anytime while unused

Some ¥30 tickets buy you a movie seat; this one buys a whole autumn afternoon at Daqian Swan Lake Manor (1 Xiyangdian Road, Zhujiajiao Town, Qingpu). The manor’s star residents are its 1,000+ black swans drifting across the lake, and the autumn “Cute Companions” pasture program wraps a small world around them: the brand-new Capybara House (laid-back capybaras, the current must-photograph residents), a Deer Forest with squirrels darting between boardwalk treehouses, a Fluffy Pasture where baby yaks live next door to alpacas, a Baa Meadow of dwarf goats, kid goats and round little pigs, a Peacock Garden with rabbits, a wild-goose habitat and a mini zoo with dozens of small animals.

Kids burn off the rest of the day in the no-power playground — bouncy cloud, diggers, slides, sand pits, balance beams, climbing frames, swings and seesaws — plus stream-side “shore combing” in shallow, clear water, a rose garden in autumn bloom, and one 10,000㎡ lawn camping pitch included with every ticket (overnight stays cost extra). Each adult may bring one child under 1 m in free.

⚠️ The rules are simple but real. No reservation is needed — buy and go the same day — but you do exchange your voucher code + phone number for a paper ticket at the entrance. Hours are 09:00–17:00, last entry 16:30. Feed animals only with the park’s designated feed (don’t bring your own), don’t chase or pat the animals, and keep open flames off the lawn. Animals follow their own schedules — some may be resting indoors, and the wild geese come and go — so treat any single species as a bonus, not a guarantee.

Packages — all include the full pasture program, mini zoo, no-power playground, stream play, rose garden and one lawn camping pitch

Single early-bird ticket — ¥29.9 (≈$4, was ¥88)
Parent-child early-bird ticket (1 adult + 1 child 1–1.4 m) — ¥58.8 (≈$8, was ¥176)
Family early-bird ticket (2 adults + 1 child 1–1.4 m) — ¥86.8 (≈$12, was ¥264)

Good to know: extras inside the park (forest mini train, Swan Lake bamboo rafts beyond the play pass, bumper cars, archery, the evening lake cruise) are pay-as-you-go. The manor faces Zhujiajiao’s lake country in Qingpu — pair the visit with the ancient water town nearby. Xialv Money-Saver Card holders save an extra ¥30.
